(...) Ahhhh, got a visored-helm here with me (shopping spree with the stuff still in the car). Kind of a hulking look, but that's okay. I'm good with an X-acto blade, I'll give that a try when I get home. Some good suggestions. Thanks. I had a (...) (24 years ago, 16-Nov-00, to lugnet.castle)

X-Acto sells a #13 micro saw blade that might work well for this application. I bet you can find it at a hardware store or a well-stocked model/train store. ~Mark "Muffin Head" Sandlin (24 years ago, 16-Nov-00, to lugnet.castle)

I dremeled the tab away using a small coarse sanding drum. Worked fine, though the ABS is so hard, it took a while. I've gone the X-acto route and I'd say the ABS is too hard to hand-cut the piece safely, unless you use a vise. binky "Bruce (...) (24 years ago, 17-Nov-00, to lugnet.castle)
